What Is The “Optical Mouse?”
The optical mouse does not use a track ball; it uses an optical sensor. It does not need a special mouse pad, and can be used even on your lap or clothes. Maintenance is easy. Just wipe the lens. The screen scroll lever on the optical mouse allows you scroll or zoom screens with ease.*
This manual describes how to connect this unit, how to install the driver, how to use the reader/writer and how to use the mouse.
* The scroll and zoom functions are not supported on the Macintosh.

About Formatting “Memory Stick”s

Cautions When Formatting “Memory Stick”s on a Personal Computer
Pay attention to the following points when formatting “Memory Stick”s on the personal computer, for example, that you are using.
• Operation of “Memory Stick”s formatted on Windows machines is not guaranteed on “Memory Stick”-compatible device. To use a “Memory Stick” that has been formatted on a Windows machine, the “Memory Stick” must be reformatted on “Memory Stick”-compatible device. Note, that, in this case all data stored on the “Memory Stick” will be lost.
• “Memory Stick” formatted on a Macintosh sometimes cannot be used on “Memory Stick”-compatible device. Do not format “Memory Stick” on the Macintosh.
